Ukraine crisis: Russia orders troops into rebel-held regions – BBC Newsnight

There are plenty of references and examples of psychopaths, but not so much in-depth information about the sociopath. They seem to get treated like the backdrop of psychopathy and antisocial personality disorder. But sociopathy is an entirely different category of “psycho.” The goal is to see through that delusional filter we tend to use when studying and researching a sociopath.

Not long ago, I noted to an acquaintance of mine that I felt one-third of the people you meet on the street immediately tried to size you up to see what they might get out of you, while one-third would befriend you and could be trusted unless there was an incentive to cheat you and once that threshold of their integrity had been crossed, they’d take advantage at your expense. The final third was benevolent and would probably assist you with something especially if you had asked them too.

It’s really fun to people watch, I think you should do it more. Interestingly enough, that is the advice I recently gave to an acquaintance, who noted that people have distinct “habits and rituals” and that some are common to all, that is to say our species, and others not, either way he noted that humans “are amazing in their depth and breadth.” Wow, totally,” I thought to myself, “isn’t that the truth?” Sure it is, even you are nodding your head in agreement and you are only reading this article, did you know nodding your head while reading is a common thing people do?

In this world there are two kinds of people – those who ‘go with the flow’ and those who do everything they can to swim against it. From people fighting to keep slavery alive to capitalists trying to keep platforms closed-source, these entities have always been and will always be fighting a losing battle.

The atheistic viewpoint has always struck me as a rather narrow one as heard from its more dogmatic proponents like Richard Dawkins, Lawrence Krauss and the late Cristopher Hitchens. Their arguments are against the traditional Biblical god-this personal caring being who resides above, whose mind revolves around us, answers prayer requests, keeps a tally of good and bad acts, in control of the ground game here on Earth, and promises either blissful immortality or being tortured forever by burning. A god that exhibits primitive stupid human emotions of anger, jealousy and revenge; and a blood-lust that insists a human being…

What is the allure and fascination of apocalype? Is it in our DNA driven by evolutionary biology? Why have visions of impending doom been with us throughout history across the world?

A major factor in determining one’s course of action is one’s definition of what is strength. How it is defined and how it is wielded carries a vast effect in how people’s actions are directed. And on this, some definitions are better than others.

In this comparison analysis, the different subfield perspectives in anthropology are explained and compared to perspectives in society and culture. Parallels are drawn between points where societies would benefit from adopting elements of these anthropological perspectives.

As we grow older, we tend to get aggravated by the complexities of the world and yearn for simpler times. You suddenly recognize the complications caused by technology, overcrowding, government bureaucracy, and changes in moral values, thereby causing you to fondly think back to less stressful times, particularly in childhood. I happened to mention this to some of my older friends recently who began to reminisce about the simpler times they experienced growing up.

There are human crisis all over this planet; after ten years of consistent fighting, it is evident that a new global culture is needed. Global commerce has connected societies to a point that a global culture is emerging. This global culture is transient, diverse, and conscientious of the connection between even the most distant species.

Any number of people want to portray 1960s as an anomaly, as a result specifically of “a bad crop” or a “narcissistic generation.” In fact 1960s were not unique, and similar, though smaller-scale, situations took place during the Romantic Era and during early 20th century. I propose that 1960s was not only not an anomaly, but in fact an inevitability; and that any attempt to bring back something like 1950s will result in something like 1960s happening yet again.

There is a great difference between actually respecting a person or a group and pretending to respect them in order to avoid negative consequences. And toward that effect, much more useful are educational efforts that give people real reasons to respect non-Western people and women, rather than simply teaching them that racism and sexism are wrong. In fact, real efforts can be made to build actual respect for women and minorities.
